Finding CNC Supplier

If you wanna directly contact the actual workshop owner,

then it is advisable to visit the workshop personally before closing any deal.

You must insist the supplier for a visit in advance as a necessary condition to acquire their services.

Beware to bite the bait of a middle man from some trading company acting as the actual owner.

While choosing a machining supplier, just remember, choose the one who offers customers testimonials and consent to contact them for verification.

Remember, general recommendations without customer info are useless.

While deciding payment terms, you must insist on paying 30% as a down payment, and the remaining 70% upon inspection.
